We work on efficiency every step of the way. Yes, pairing cars will be more challenging than running a bracket race, but we've got Nitro Joe, Donald Braun, Danny Waters, Sr., and Jim Woods among others to help facilitate the process. Racers working together can help us even more.

In terms of weather, as I posted in the "2001 USCN" thread, I did my weather history research all the way back to 2002, and 2010 is the only year that would've been tough. There were a couple of years that may have required small schedule adjustments, but overall, the conditions for the first weekend in May in Hebron, OH are generally pretty favorable.

Herb - get back to work on a ride for the next generation of McCandless... better be ready for next spring!

Michael as far as pairing goes give them XX amount of time to get up there or have a crewmember to explain why they aren't there. If not they lose.
